🌟 Important NDIS Updates: What Participants & Providers Need to Know for 2025! 🌟

Major reforms are underway, focused on improving safeguards and ensuring the NDIS is sustainable. Here are the 5 key changes and their dates:

1. 🛡️ Expanded Mandatory Registration (From Late 2025)

Who is affected? SIL providers, Support Coordinators, and Online Platform Providers must register.

The Goal: Bring thousands of unregistered services under regulation to boost safeguards and service quality.

2. ✅ Clearer Definition of Supports (Transition Ends Oct 2025)

The Rule: NDIS funding strictly covers only supports listed on the official NDIS Supports List.

Key Date: The 12-month transition period, which began in October 2024, ends on October 2, 2025.

3. ⏱️ Flexible Plan Variations (Started Early 2025)

The Change: The NDIA can quickly adjust participant plans for changing needs or immediate risks.

Benefit: Allows for more timely and responsive support, avoiding a full, lengthy plan reassessment.

4. 💰 Quarterly Funding Cycles (Applying to New Plans Since May 2025)

How Funding is Released: Plans shift from upfront annual payments to smaller, typically quarterly funding instalments.

Purpose: Helps participants manage their budgets better, reducing overspending for scheme sustainability.

5. 💲 Pricing Changes Effective 24 November 2025

What is Affected: New arrangements impact therapy rates, travel allowances, Assistive Technology claims, and billing rules.

Goal: Establish fairer, sustainable pricing and ensure clearer billing and claiming rules across the sector.

Don't be caught off guard! Review how these reforms affect your plan or service delivery.

World Occupational Therapy Day! 🎉💙👐

As a proud NDIS Provider, today we are celebrating the incredible Occupational Therapists (OTs) who work with our participants to help them transform possibility into reality!
Occupational Therapy is the foundation of client-centred support, focused on promoting wellbeing through meaningful everyday activities 🏠💪. OTs deliver evidence-based interventions central to the NDIS’s core values: empowering participants with choice, control, and greater independence 🙌🦾.

The global theme is "Occupational Therapy in Action," and we are proud to facilitate access to this vital action every day! Our role as a provider is to ensure our participants are connected to the right OT expertise 🤝 needed to align their supports with their specific NDIS goals 🎯.

How OT “In Action” Benefits Participants:

Building Functional Independence: OTs assess and train participants in essential daily living skills—from managing personal care 🚿🪥 to complex cooking skills 🍳—using practical, skill-building strategies.

Enhancing Participation: They overcome environmental barriers, assist with prescribing Assistive Technology (AT) 🦼📱, and plan home modifications 🏡 for safety and engagement.

Creating a Rewarding Life: By focusing on individual aspirations, OTs help participants develop routines and skills for a fulfilling, independent life 😊🌈, directly improving overall quality of life.

We thank every dedicated OT across the country for your clinical expertise, creativity, and commitment to the NDIS community 🙏🧑‍⚕️.
Let’s continue creating those possibilities, together! 🌟

🌟✨ Happy Diwali from Australian Support Services (WA) ! 🪔

Across Australia and around the world, communities are celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Lights. It’s a time that symbolises the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.

For many, Diwali is more than a festival — it’s a reminder to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what brings meaning, joy, and unity into our lives.

These values deeply connect with the heart of our NDIS community. Every day, we see the power of light in action — through compassion, empowerment, and inclusion. Each moment of support, every step towards independence, and every shared success reflects that same spirit of Diwali: lighting the way forward, together. 💛

As we join our staff, participants, and families who celebrate Diwali, we also celebrate the light that shines in our shared community — a light of care, understanding, and hope. 🌸

Wishing everyone a Diwali filled with happiness, health, and new beginnings. ✨

🌟 Understanding Your NDIS Plan: Core, Capital, and Capacity Building Supports 🌟

Received your NDIS plan and wondering what Core, Capital, and Capacity Building budgets actually mean? Understanding these can help you use your plan to its fullest! 💡

🛠️ Core Supports Budget – Your Everyday Support
This budget is flexible and helps with daily activities. Whether you need a support worker for personal care 🚿, transport to appointments 🚗, social activities 🎉, or consumables like continence products, Core supports are designed to help you live your daily life comfortably. You can usually move funds between categories within Core—like shifting money from transport to social participation—to fit your changing needs 🔄.

♿ Capital Supports Budget – Big Purchases for Independence
Capital supports fund larger, one-off purchases like power wheelchairs 🦽, home modifications (ramps, accessible bathrooms) 🏡, or car modifications 🚙. This budget is specific, so funds must be spent on the approved items in your plan. These investments help you gain greater independence and freedom 🕊️.

💡 Capacity Building Supports Budget – Building Your Skills and Confidence
This budget helps you grow your independence over time. It covers therapy 🧑‍⚕️ (occupational, physiotherapy), support coordination 🤝, education 🎓, training, and programs that help you join the community or find work 💼. Capacity Building is about making you stronger and more confident in managing your life and supports 💪.

Knowing the difference between these budgets helps you make informed choices and get the most from your plan. If you need help understanding your plan or making it work for you, we at Peaceful Life are here to support every step of your journey ❤️.

Let’s make your NDIS plan a powerful tool for your goals! ✨

✨ Busting the Myths: NDIS Myth vs Fact ✨

The NDIS can feel confusing at times, especially with so many misconceptions floating around. To help increase awareness and confidence, here are 5 common myths — and the real facts behind them:

🔹 Myth 1: The NDIS only supports physical disabilities.
✅ Fact: The NDIS supports a wide range of disabilities — intellectual, sensory, cognitive, psychosocial, and neurological — not just physical. Eligibility depends on how the disability impacts daily life.

🔹 Myth 2: You must be unemployed or have low income/assets to get NDIS support.
✅ Fact: Financial status, assets, or employment don’t affect eligibility. If you meet the disability and residency criteria, you can apply — no matter your income.

🔹 Myth 3: NDIS funding covers all personal expenses.
✅ Fact: The NDIS funds “reasonable and necessary” supports directly related to disability needs. It doesn’t cover general living expenses such as rent, groceries, or holidays.

🔹 Myth 4: Once your plan is created, you’re stuck with it for a year.
✅ Fact: NDIS plans are flexible! If your needs change, you can request a plan review at any time.

🔹 Myth 5: Only Australians can access the NDIS.
✅ Fact: Eligibility is based on residency. Permanent residents, citizens, and some visa holders may all be eligible if they meet the other requirements.

💙 By understanding these facts, we can all play a part in reducing confusion and empowering participants, families, and carers with the right knowledge.

📢 NDIS Updates – Stay Informed 📢

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has had some important developments in recent weeks. Here’s a breakdown of what families, carers, and participants need to know:

🔹 System Update (26 August)
A scheduled upgrade briefly delayed some claims from showing in participant dashboards. The good news: all claims have since been processed and everything is back to normal. No further action is needed from participants or providers.

🔹 NDIA Corporate Plan Released (29 August)
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) released its 2025–26 Corporate Plan. Key priorities for the next four years include:
✔️ Stronger measures to prevent fraud and misuse of funds
✔️ Improving outcomes for participants through more efficient processes
✔️ Greater accountability and transparency across the scheme

🔹 NDIS Debt Review (22 August)
The NDIA completed a review of overpayments. As part of this review, some participants and providers may receive repayments if overpayments were identified. This is part of a wider effort to ensure fairness and accuracy in how funds are managed.

💡 What this means for you:

There’s no action required from the system update.

The Corporate Plan shows a shift towards greater integrity and better participant outcomes.

If you’ve had billing or payment issues in the past, you may be affected by the debt review outcomes.

At Australian Support Services WA, we stay on top of NDIS changes so you don’t have to. Our goal is to keep you informed and supported every step of the way. 💜

💜 NDIS Update: Thriving Kids Program (2027) 💜

The Australian Government has announced that from mid-2027, children under 8 with mild to moderate developmental delay (including many autistic children) will transition out of the NDIS and into a new support system called Thriving Kids.

🔎 What’s Changing?

Children with mild to moderate developmental delays will no longer enter the NDIS.

They will instead be supported under Thriving Kids, a $2 billion initiative, jointly funded by the Commonwealth and states/territories.

The program will deliver supports through mainstream services — including GPs, schools, early learning centres, maternal and child health, and community networks.

Rollout begins July 2026, with full implementation by mid-2027.

⚖️ Concerns Raised

Families and professionals worry about whether Thriving Kids will provide the same level of individualised support as the NDIS.

There are calls for clearer terminology (autism is lifelong, while developmental delay refers to specific areas of slower growth).

Experts stress the need for a stepped-care model and co-design with families so supports are personalised.
